Today marks the last day in July, which means (sadly) summer festival season is almost over. But have no fear! Lollapalooza 2015 kicks off in just one hour and will have performances from big acts like The Weeknd, Tove Lo, Charli XCX, MS MR, DJ Mustard, HOLYCHILD, A$AP Rocky, Peking Duk, DJ Snake and Zella Day all throughout the weekend.
The festival broadcast will go down at Chicago's Grant Park...

The cool thing to say now is that the whole idea of alt-R&B is played out. This is also a bullshit thing to say. Sure, scene godfather The Weeknd is making pop moves, Miguel delved into psych-soul and people have generally tired of the moody, druggy, sparse thing. But it's still a useful categorization as long as we have artists making a strain of electronic alternative music that stretches...

Ariana Grande's death scene from Ryan Murphy's comedy/horror series Scream Queens has surfaced online ahead of the show's premiere. The donut-licking diva is taken out in spectacular style by a dude in a devil mask. The darkly comedic scene finds the 22-year-old flirting with the serial killer before he informs her that she's about to die — via text. He then stabs Ari, but she doesn't die immediately....

I knew you were trouble when you walked in, One Direction, and dropping a new single unannounced at 1 a.m. just proves it!
And so here we have "Drag Me Down," the first new song from the UK boy band since the early 2015 departure of one Zayn Malik. Interesting timing, too, lads, given that this bombshell comes a day after it was officially announced that Malik signed a global, solo recording deal...

What good is summer without dancing — or without an anthem to dance to? While the Internet at large was touting their ideas on what would be the Song Of The Summer back in May and June, it turns out two separate pop conglomerates out of the UK waited until July to unleash their latest beat-laden melodies.
In one corner we have producer/DJ extraordinaire/Taylor Swift arm candy Calvin Harris, who has...

In February, Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne snagged a Grammy for their dancefloor crossover hit "Rather Be," signaling that the house-pop revival wasn't just a phenomenon confined to the borders of the United Kingdom. So cue up "Feeling Your Love (Laa Dee Daa)," the debut single from British duo Level 3, which bears the same potential for becoming global, "Rather Be"-sized smash.
Level 3 is comprised...

Timeflies made the leap from YouTube stardom to chart domination look easy with major label debut LP After Hours. (It peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 in 2014). The hip-hop/pop duo are ready to take things to the next level with sophomore set Just For Fun (due September 18). Spearheaded by Natalie La Rose-assisted earworm "Worse Things Than Love," the album is set to be your new party soundtrack...

Justin Bieber has spent much of 2015 explaining himself and recalibrating his career, and along the way he has revealed bits and pieces about his next studio album. Today (July 29) during his interview with Ryan Seacrest, the singer announced that the first single from that Selena Gomez-inspired full-length is called "What Do You Mean" and it'll be released on August 28.
That's 30 days away,...

Miley Cyrus hosts the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards on August 30, and considering the last time she appeared on the show it was just for a couple minutes and it still managed to monopolize the entire subsequent week of pop culture news, it should make for some very hashtag-friendly, outrage-baiting viewing. And to drive that point home and show just how edgy she (still) is, in a promo for the upcoming...

If you thought the Meek Mill vs. Drake beef was over, you better refresh your Twitter feed! In the wee hours of this morning (July 29), social media woke up to round two of the hip-hop music battle — thanks to Drake's release of his "Back To Back" freestyle.
This time around, the IYRTITL artist is firing shot after shot in the three-minute tune. The minimal yet blipping production amplifies...
